Project Title

Bulking Physiology: Carrot Bulking, Quality and Harvest Synchronization through Uncovering Genotype, Agronomic and Agroclimatological Interactions

Goals and Objectives

To develop Crop Production systematics (CPS) and Harvest Decision Models (HDM) for the processing carrot industry. The objectives are to: 1) understand carrot bulking physiology and dynamics, yield and quality as influenced by genetic, agronomic, and agro-climatological factors; 2) investigate the influence of these factors on the interrelationship between root bulking, canopy growth, canopy photosynthesis and sink activity; 3) to develop integrated CPS and HDMs
